Do you arrive to work early or late on a weekly basis?
-
When I worked I usually arrived 10 to 15 minutes early.
-
When I was working, I would always arrive early. I thought that was a plus on my part to be ready to work as soon as the time to work rolled around. :angel11:
However, it did seem to me that it didn't seem to matter much if people were late to work as long as they had an excuse. Never seemed right to me. :confused1:
-
I am usually the first one at my job and I live the furthest...go figure! lol ...but I am counting down the days until retirement! 5 years and 6 months! :)
-
whether it is work or any other appointment i have I always get there a few minutes early.
to me it is common courtesy to be on time as much as possible. :rainbow: :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

Same for me! i think people who live close think they can make it in an unrealistic amount of time, while those who have to commute play it safe and end up over-estimating!

I was always early. It's so rude to be late.
-
i'm a stay at home mom so i'm always on time to be here lol....as far as meeting anywhere else i'm usually early
-
I arrive on time on a daily basis.
We actually have 7 minute window in which we are to punch in at. We aren't too punch in earlier than 7 minutes prior to the top of the hour.....company has to pay us for a quarter hour if we do; so we are not to punch in early.
We have that same 7 minute window to punch out of past the top of the hour. If we punch out past that, company has to pay for a quarter hour of work time. They do NOT want to do that on a consistent basis.
-
I am always early. It doesn't seem to matter tho because the ones who are late never get punished. But if I were to start coming in late I guarantee it would make a difference.
-
I don't have a set work time as long as I get my work done and am there 35+ hours a week. However when it comes to other appointments, I try to get there 5-10 minutes early.
-
i dont work anymore...but when i did i was always on on time...always there at least 30 min ahead of time
-

Most people don't care. And in jobs like fast food or retail if one person is late or doesn't show then somebody else is forced to stay over to cover for them.
-
I'm a stay at home mom now. But when I did work I was always there 45 minutes early getting things ready before I would even clock in. Even for my appointments now I arrive 15-20 minutes early.
-
Definitely always on time.
-
A little early always!
-
I wake up 1-2 hours early to get ready, eat, and use the bathroom.. I always get a stomach ache in the morning when I eat something, so to avoid the bathroom at work or college I need to have a decent time after I eat
-
I'm mostly 5-10 minutes early, once in a while I may be late depending on certain situations that may arise.
-
Early are sometimes right on time lol
-
I'm usually at work about 45 minutes early but use the time to get set-up for the day with things that have to be done before the "time-crunch". I don't get paid by the hour anyway (commission), & LOVE my job, so it's def not a problem.
I've had jobs in the past where I got there right on time, or a few minutes late due to the fact that I really didn't want to be there, but had to be.
-
I arrive a bit early or on time most days, unless there is traffic or something, and the DC area traffic is a nightmare 24/7.
-
I general arrive at work before anyone else and leave shortly after every one else has left. Working ten to eleven hour days allows me that bragging right. I do contract work at night and on the weekends and typically work forty hours (more than any other contractor) even with understating my actual hours worked-which provides value to both companies that I work for and adds up to some pretty nice bonuses, job stability and ease at moving onto other jobs and projects. I work as hard as I can whenever I can because I had some rough times between 2008-2012 with my own three businesses. I hope to never be in that position again and as such have turned into somewhat of a workaholic.
-
I'm always a few minutes early. I don't like to be late. I usually have worked as a supervisor and it looks bad if you are late.
-
I'm not working right now but when I did work, I always planned to arrive 15 to 30 minutes early. It's the same regarding doctors appointments. Really, if you're not 15 minutes early for an appointment, you're late!
-
Subject doesn't fit the discussion you started, you are talking about tardiness. If you are talking about attendance I have missed 1 day in my entire life(no one is perfect) and that was in 1997 and I have been working since 1982 :thumbsup: :highfive:

How are you in your 40's and only have 5 years to retire?
-
When I was working I always showed up at least a half hour early. Thats the way I am. Yes, there were those days that I as late, but because of traffic of an accident. Nothing I did on purpose.
-
i'm early for everything,,, i'm retired now but i was usually the first one at work and would set in the parking lot till someone came to open the doors lol i'm always 10 minutes early for appointments. early for family get together's. I just being late for anything. i'm always early when my daughter invites us for dinner. and she just lives in the house behind me LOL always better to be early,,,,,,,,,, you might miss something :)
-
I was raised to be early and I was always early and even today still the same way.

I have always been at least 15 minutes early. Not sure what your job was that you would be late because you didn't want to be there but that is not fair to your co-workers who work with you or someone who is waiting on YOU to come in so they can go home. We have a lot of people that do that where I work and it drives me nuts. If I get off at 5 but the person that is to relieve me doesn't show up until 10 after then has to go get their stuff and get to their station then I end up having to stay over 10-15 minutes on a job I don't want to be on either.
I think if a person accepts a job then they need to be on time and show up when scheduled. But it has been my experience that the ones who call in and show up late and are the biggest goof offs - they are the ones who get moved up first and the quickest.
